    Color of Officers Silk Liner

    I think green and brown were the most common colours, but honestly I've seen original liners in almost every colour under the sun! Pink, blue with spots, yellow...

    Early Prussian General's Parade Tunic

    I've owned a few of these over the years, but this is by far the nicest of them! The fabric is fresh and bright, and the bullion embroidery retains most of its original gilding, which really makes it stand out. The size is reasonably large (about 42-43 chest) and there are loops for a long...

    I'm not sure the fur is actually opossum on this- what do you feel? I think it is likely an old repro, but the skull looks very good to me and could be original...

    The Mexican Haubes

    I think the academy association may be correct! Also note that both the helmet with plume and the Arizona museum helmet are NCO in configuration, rather than the officer grade helmets we see with the standard Mexican plate. This would make sense for aspirants at the academy, IMO. Here is a...

    The Mexican Haubes

    That last metal helmet is not German military in configuration- more like a fireman's helmet in shape. I've found another pic of a helmet with this plate, too. State militia of some kind, or possibly a military academy? I can't say...

    Fahnrich Upgrade, Parts Helmet, or Reproduction?

    I would be very surprised if original trefoils were ever cast. All originals I've seen have been stamped.

    Rare lacquered felt or just plain fake?

    I think this helmet is original with the exceptions already noted. A rare variation, to be sure!
